DISCOVER THE MSc IN
CLINICAL ANATOMY
The MSc in Clinical Anatomy provides unique opportunities
to immerse yourself in the practical and in-depth study
of clinical anatomy. The programme is built around core
dissection-based modules, and a range of complementary
optional modules allowing you to gain an in-depth
understanding of all the fundamental pillars of anatomy,
including embryology, neuroanatomy, histology and
radiology. You will be encouraged to be a self-directed
learner and challenge your knowledge and ways of thinking
about the human body.
This programme offers you the opportunity to conduct
whole-body dissection and in doing so develop a deep
understanding of the complex nature of the whole of the
human body and how that relates to your clinical practice.
You will work at your own pace and in your own self-directed
learning time, using cadavers embalmed using both
Thiel-based techniques, ensuring material is as close to living
tissue as possible, and Formalin-based techniques, keeping
the material in defined anatomical relationships.
This programme also features guest seminars from visiting
surgeons and consultants, who will bring patient cases to
share with you, so you can apply your knowledge within
a clinical context. These experts come from a range of
specialities and include plastic, thoracic and orthopaedic
surgeons, physiotherapists, radiologists and emergency
medicine doctors.
Conduct whole-body
dissection and develop
a deep understanding of
the entire human body.
